INTRODUCTION:

In every nursing students life must go through experiences that

may forever changes our lives. We may do things that we thought we couldn’t do but in
the end we learned we could. It was a rewarding experience because in one way or
another we know something will change in every one of us.

It was a challenge from the beginning, from the group to the

community, our patience was tested, and our social skills put in the line. Cooperation and
unity was very in demand virtue that time. If we need to finish with flying colors we must
stick together, there was no place for disappointment or misunderstandings. We need to
stay focused and strong at all times and set our differences aside.

When we started our survey of the community and saw the reality
of the situations of families living there, with no stable income to support their activities
of daily living. Something touched our hearts and we felt like it is not fair that some of us
complain of how little our allowances are when these families are struggling just to
survive one day at a time. We are blessed and we should be thankful for it and find way
share it with the less fortunate.

Community diagnosis is a very important tool to use for us to learn

the health situation of the community and in order for us to know the necessary measures,
solutions and program we need to implement to help improve its current situation. As
community health nurses we need to impart to the people what we know and mold them a
sense of well – being and the importance of being responsible for the health of their
families.
 The community experience was very fruitful for us; it did not only
give us a chance to serve others but gave us a chance to know ourselves more. It made a
great impact in our lives for just a short period of time. After the experience we evolved
into stronger, more patient, more responsible human beings ready to handle whatever life
may bring our way. We changed and we are happy because we’re change for the better.

The community in Barangay Sta. Rosa, Cainta Rizal is one which

represents a mixture of people with different ethnicity, religious beliefs, and educational
background. Most of the residents are either Christians or Roman Catholic and is
reflected by the presence of their churches in the vicinity.

There is a balance between houses that are built with concrete,

wooden and mixed materials. A lot of houses are open with no fences except the well of
ones.

There are number of sari – sari stores in the community. These

 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION

Health is wealth. It is a gift from God and to take care of it is our

responsibility as human beings. Yet sometimes we take it for granted and we abuse it.
One of the biggest problems of every community, like Barangay Sta. Rosa is poverty. It
is the biggest culprit who rubs and deprives every Filipino people of a chance to have a
better quality of life and sometimes, even basic needs of food, shelter and clothing.

But although poverty reigns over the majority of the population we

must not lose hope because something can be done. First and foremost every member of
the community must start with themselves. For a change to happen it must first come true
within and soon it will have an effect on others then the community as a whole.

Cooperation is very essential to the success of every program

implemented in a community. No matter how good and beneficial the program is, without
the participation of the members it will not be a success. Leaders of the barangay must
motivate its members; show them the benefits of knowing how to take better care of their
health in order to avoid additional expenses of going to the doctor. Prevention is always
better than cure. Instill in them a sense of responsibility and discipline. And most of all
every leader must lead by example. Be a model to be followed, it will be great
contribution to your community and you will earn their respect.

Poverty must never be a hindrance to success we just need to act.

We cannot just sit down and wait for something that will change our situation in life.
Even the people winning the lotto and other games did something to win they joined.
They did not sit there and watch the joined. But we must not leave our future to luck; we
should find ways to improve our lives even if it means hard work. Laziness and
irresponsibility will not take you anywhere. Let your family be your inspiration and let
God be your guide and take the lead for every problem. He always have a solution and
never give up you in times of crisis.
